This Tonkatsu Wako restaurnat is on the 9th floor of Hachioji Celeo at the north exit of JR Hachioji Station and is open from 11:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. It is one of our favorite tonkatsu restaurants because the tonkatsu (deep fried pork cutlets) and other fried items are always crisp on the outside and never greasy, and the pork fillet is tender. The quality of the rice is very good. There are free refills for the rice, miso soup with clams, and shredded cabbage upon request. Service is prompt and polite.

First visit, won't be my last! Outeian=Nightengale. Serenity immediately enveloped us, as nightengale song greeted our birthday party group upon our arrival. Several bilingual party guests insured the culturally significant aspects of our dinner weren't lost in translation! The dinner theme was the autumnal equinox, the season's change from summer into fall; the restaurant's lovely garden was lit by a full moon. The menu (see below) sounds very ordinary in English, but the taste and presentation were exceptionally wonderful. Here was our menu: Soup: Matsutake mushroom (earthy, available only in autumn) soup with white fish, Japanese tiger prawn, ginkgo nut, parsley Yakimono (grilled appetizer): Cod with chrysanthemum and chestnutHachimono: Black pork with Japanese pear, taro bud, special beans Entree: Japanese beef with seasonal vegetables and special sauce, served with side dishes of Matsutake mushroom cooked with rice; pickles and miso soup Dessert: Sweet potato custard with a juicy sliced muscat and Azuki (red bean) soup (more like jam), with mochi (of course!). The phases of the moon are layered in gold leaf under the plate's glaze; printed on the placemat was a famous haiku about the moon. I asked why there were so many rabbits pictured among the moon decorations...the translation (get ready to be amazed): in western culture, we look to the night sky to see the "Man in the Moon." Japanese, however, don't look for a man's face in the moon: they see a RABBIT POUNDING MOCHI IN THE MOON. Just love Japan! While we sat to eat, we heard koto music, which I at first assumed was recorded. Then one of our Japanese guests pointed to the koto player in a room across the lake from us--we were hearing live music! Wonderfully memorable.

There are two restaurants in this area of Takao or more correctly Takao-sanguchi - the last stop on the Keio Line out of Shinjuku- which are similar in what they have to offer, one is Ukai Toriyama and the other is Gonsuke. Ukai Toriyama you pay for the atmosphere primarily, not the food. Gonsuke though the emphasis is certainly on the food along with a MOST unique atmosphere definitely best experienced in the evening when it is dark and the flames are roaring in the beacon baskets and the corridors and outside paths to the cottages are all lit up most uniquely and oooh so pretty! The food is all primarily cooked by you and your friends over grilled charcoal which really gets hot so come dressed to strip off as the evening progresses. Also as it is grilled food don't wear your best suit, etc. dress down real low to casual. The menu is generally set menu stuff, several choices, but full course from starters all the way to desert including some delicious ice cream or super frozen lemon sherbet depending on the season, the former in winter the later spring through summer. You will definitely feel full at the end of the evening so don't have lunch any later than 1pm! The menu has basic ingredients depending on the set course But the good thing is the extra bits and pieces in-between like sashimi, the hot custard like chawan-mushi with mushrooms and shrimp change daily so there is A LOT more personal care put into the menu than Ukai-toriyama! The basic set menu you can see in the photos that Gonsuke provide at the top of this article. The menu though is ALL in Japanese, no hints with a few English words here and there! So if you are not to strong on your Japanese and you have certain food allergies do bring a friend who can translate. If you get really stuck though ask if the Ten-cho (the restaurant boss) is around as he's been in Aussie for several years and speaks English very well and has been working there for quite a few years! A suggestion price wise would be go for something slightly more expensive to get the full experience say around 6,000 to 7,000yen or a bit above that. Another absolute must is the beer served with literally ice still stuck to the glasses makes for a fabulous first "kampai" - cheers - and more there after! The restaurant's own Japanese sake is also good, and warmed in its unique bottle over the grill is very good! The alcohol prices are NOT outrageous so don't think you need to hold back!!! Seating - each set of customers is directed to their own personal rooms, if you're foreign then you might find it best to stay in the main building on the first/ground floor where you can stretch your legs down under the table or if you do want to go out to one of the cottages make sure to ask for the cottage where you can stretch your legs down under - there is only one! The other cottages have very low tables and if you are not used to sitting crossed leg or kneeling it may not be the best idea. Each year though they update one more cottage so by the time you go there maybe another cottage for long legged people has been reformed! Getting there, drive if you must, there is a new exit to the Ken-oh-do VERY nearby "Takao" and then two minutes drive once you get off the expressway. Otherwise take advantage of their free Gonsuke Bus service but call a day before to check the times from Takao-san-guchi station OR ask them to specially pick you and your group up but book this at least a day if not several days before AND THEN call on the day to remind them and then just as you get on the train to go there, they get busy sometimes and they just might forget you! Not always but sometimes! They will of course take you back after you have finished eating but just as you are on your last course best to ask when the next bus is going...if you are lucky and ask kindly they might take you all the way to Takao. Also if you are originally in the Hachioji/Takao area that day and you let them know about a week before they will come and pick you up from wherever you are...FREE!Highly recommend the place, if you are in Tokyo for only a few days and you have just got to have that real mystic Japanese meal out this is it and it won't bankrupt you! It is easy to get to from central Tokyo - Shinjuku - only about 90 minutes door to door if you get the bus service right!

We had visitors in town and we wanted to treat them to a truly exceptional sushi experience...Nakamura-san and his family definitely delivered! The sushi was amazing, but my favorite was the seared scallops. Highly recommend sitting at the counter, only about eight seats though, so you can watch this Master Sushi Chef at work. They have additional seating and also a room that can seat about 20. We've found a new favorite sushi spot and will definitely be back. Nakamura-san, domo arigatou gozaimashita...oishikatta.

Tofuya-Ukai-Owada, 2-18-10 Owada Chou, Hachioji is one of the 10 or so Ukai restaurants in the Tokyo area. Each is fairly unique in its menu, setting and architecture. Because the principal dish served here is tofu (bean curd) in many of its different modes the cost of food is relatively low for the restaurant and the price for customers is quite reasonable for what you get. 3,680 buys the standard meal which is excellent and the top menu item is about 6,800 yen.The setting is charming, a new building but strongly influenced by traditional Japanese architecture and style. The food is excellent and the service equally good. You can look it up on their web site ukai.co.jp/English/index.html. I strongly recommend reservations, my wife books for us but I would think they can handle a booking in English, just take your time and be patient.While you can drive there, the directions are a bit complex and I would recommend taking a taxi from Hachioji Station either the Keio or Chuo Line station, about 1,800 yen as I recall.I have also eaten at two other Ukai restaurants in Takao, Ukai Toriyama and Ukai Chikutei which are substantially more expensive, but with an even more impressive setting. My firm recommendation for an introduction to fine, but reasonably priced traditional Japanese cusine is their Tofuya in Owada Chou.

We went to this restaurant after an interval of about ten years. After all, it was splendid. Scenery, the staff, interior decoration of the room, the dishes. They were all great. Sure, it is far from Shinjyuku or Shibuya. But it is worth for visiting. All the dishes taste good. We were satisfied very much. I consider that Chikutei is more splendid than Toriyama. It's crowded there, especially during the autumn season. I think that you should make reservations early.

Made our way to Mt Takao for a morning hike before we took the free shuttle from the train station to the restaurant. I am not easily excited about any restaurant but the theatre provided by this restaurant changed my mind. The immaculate gardens and the landscape made one feel connected to Nature. Upon arrival for lunch, we are led to our private pavillion, the short walk from the reception was an eye opener. Such serenity and the grace and service of the staff is commendable. We had the charbroiled chicken and carp sashimi meal. Taste and texture were spot on. Worth the long trek from Tokyo if have time for lunch, itâs certainly worth it!
